Abstract

A minor C 27 sterol, glaucasterol, was isolated from the soft coral Sarcophyton glaucum. Based on the spectroscopic evidence and the correlation to cholestanol and 26-nor-27-homocholestanol, its structure was proposed to be 24ξ, 25ξ-24,26-cyclocholesta-5,22E-dien-3β-ol ( 1 ), the first example of a natural C 27 sterol having a cyclopropane ring in the side chain.
